Day 120 - Timing

Isn't it awesome how time flies?! 120 days and our workouts are now seeming to be more of a habit than a chore we dread. I am so excited that Patty & I are now on this path to fitness and health. The results so far are fantastic and they will continue to get better as each day passes.

Tonight, we had a little miscommunication with our scheduled training time. We made it to the gym at 5:30 for some pre cardio workout thinking our appointment with Mel was at 6:00. Well, our appointment was at 7:00 so we were warmed up and ready but had to wait around for an hour so we went to Starbucks for a coffee (Patty had tea) and a conversation until our session.

Tonight was going to be focused on lower body training. We started with some leg presses and alternated with ball squats and wall squats. We then moved to some calf exercizes and donkey calf lifts. There was a new machine where we did leg steps (pushing weight down with each leg and the alternating leg lunges and leg lifts. We moved from there upstairs for some leg ball curls and finished up with a new routine called a "Jack Knife" where we lay on our back and have each arm touch the alternate leg. Quite a tough stretch for me but made it through. By the time we were done, it was already 8:15 so we went home for a later than normal dinner (vegetable quiche mmmm...) and to spend some time with our dog, Pippin.
